    Norinco 5.56 ammo. Load data to replicate?

    I just finished up firing the last of my old 5.56 CJ92 headstamp Norinco 5.56 ammo, and I LOVE how it fires out of an AR pistol. Huge fireball and lots of noise.

    What's the best plan to replicate it for the same ridiculous noise and fireball effect?

    Following up on my own question, in case anyone else ever looks for it...

    It looks like the Norinco 5.56 yellow box stuff was very similar to the M193 and Q3131 ammo. So, upon researching the M193 stuff, there are several people out there who talk about coming close to replicating it, but because the exact powder is not available, it won't be perfect. It's about bedtime now, but I guess I need to find some H355 powder to start working up a load that will be safely close to M193 velocity.

    If anyone has done similar, please nudge me in the right direction.

      H335 is great for making fireballs in 223
